This week’s Grand Rounds was full of excellent cases, Bayesian statistics, and uncovered cognitive biases.
From Morbidity & Mortality Conference by Dr. Hughes, to airway expertise by Dr. Carleton, to tips to decrease stress by Dr. Koehler, to learned lessons from near misses by attendings Dr. Continenza, R. Thompson, and Sabedra, this summary is one you’re going to want to pay attention to!
